Default Sudden issue with my lights... help

I have a 1984 chevy silverado pickup. I was driving last night and suddenly my lights went out. Now my headlights, tail lights, high beams, dome lights, and radio, no longer work.
The brake lights and blinker lights work fine.
I have no clue what the issue could be. I am a female. I know a little about cars, so please bare with me.
If someone has some input as to what the problem may be, i would appreciate your help.
I just bought the truck and it did not come with the manual, so Im not too sure where all the fuses or relays are located either....

Any help would be appreciated..
Please & thank you

I would look at fuses 1st. Don't know where yours are but on my 93 they are located at the driver's left knee area.

Checked the fuses and they are all fine. My headlights came on again for about 2 seconds then went back out and have not come on since. What else could be causing this issue. Any help is appreciated

Default Light issues

The headlights, tail lights- running lights should be on the same switch. If
your signal and break lights still work can it be a faulty switch?
Just a stab in the dark :-)

Switch is a great idea - explains everything but the radio
